EVENTS
Our 2024 National Meeting - concluded
A summary of our 2024 meeting will appear in our 2n Quarter 2024 Newsletter.
The "Talcton Nevada Mail" presented at our meeting has been sent to the Nevada Historical Society (NHS) in Reno, Nevada. Once we have the information how to access from the NHS, it will be posed here.
The issue of a chat room to bypass the present forwarding of E-Mails around to all parties was discussed and is still under investigation. A significant issue we have is that some of our group are not "computer people"; a way to include these in our "conversations" needs to be established as part of this effort.
